Re: Why In The Fuck Are There Dogs In The Camp Grounds?

I saw someone with a dog inside the venue next to the outdoor stage. I wanted to scratch his head, but thought the person holding him might be blind, and was walking too fast to figure it out. Definitely made me think, "when the shit did dogs in the venue become the new thing?"

Yeah, because before domestication of cats and dogs, they didn't live in heat, or sip hot water......................

In other words, go to Mexico. If you think being tied to a stake with a bowl of warm water is bad, then you haven't left this country in far too long.

Re: Why In The Fuck Are There Dogs In The Camp Grounds?

I saw one dog in the campgrounds, but it was in the RV section behind the farmer's market and it was just chilling with its owners. Judging by the owners I assumed it was being well looked after and cared for. If I had seen a dog in the tent or car camping areas, I would have told a security guard for sure. Not okay.

Re: Why In The Fuck Are There Dogs In The Camp Grounds?

I saw a dog in the Gobi tent one day, on a leash. It was a little thing, didn't look like a working dog. After a little while the owner/handler took it through the gate backstage. I assumed it was an artist's dog. Actually, I assumed it was Daft Punk's dog, it looked scrawny and French.

Re: Why In The Fuck Are There Dogs In The Camp Grounds?

There was a truck full of girls in the security line last Thursday. They had a little dog with them. One of them told me it was hers and that it's okay because she had a "doctor's note" and she's "crazy."

Yet they confiscated my melodica.

I saw a large dog that had a leash on but running free with a couple right before Kalkbrenner at the Sahara. At first I thought the woman was blind because she had dark glasses but that was debunked when the woman ran to grab the dog when he started eating something left on the ground. Maybe they were part of an artists' crew...

Fatty Boom Boom with the douchepster hat.
Actually, we saw Fatty Boom Boom in the Yuma tent, but he was hat less and walking away. Funny, but his buttcheeks and facial cheeks are almost identical.

Quick question, has anyone else here actually held a fetus? They're not very cute.

Yes, they jacked my melodica in the car camping security line and I'm quite disappointed, not because I can't get another one for $30 or whatever but just because of the way it went down. They were polite and all, but they seemed to have their own private list of no-no's that wasn't listed on the website. Obviously no instruments in the venue, I get that. But under the campground rules online there's no mention of instruments. The paper they pulled out said "No Instruments/Noisemakers/Drums (Guitars OK)" or something to that effect. They said they had already confiscated one earlier in the day. My guitar was safe as was a pair of bongos and two vuvuzelas that I brought along for fun. (They barely work and we didn't really use them at all.) Very inconsistent and I hope to get some non-ironic feedback from Dani/psychicfriend next week perhaps. The first of several disappointments this year after a pretty fantastic 2012.

Re: Why In The Fuck Are There Dogs In The Camp Grounds?

I saw one dog in the actual venue... a "helper" dog. What the fuck, people? Are you not aware that dogs have significantly better hearing than humans? My ears have been ringing for days after the festival as it is. Can you imagine what damage that can do to an animal? I love my pets enough to never subject them to that.

Re: Why In The Fuck Are There Dogs In The Camp Grounds?

random story: sunday morning at like 4am my car alarm starts screaming. thought it was someone elses at first, as id never heard it. gf takes care of it, not really seeing anything that would have set it off. in the morning, we found paw prints all over the driver door and handle. wtf. we had no chron. maybe he smelled the ghardettos

Re: Why In The Fuck Are There Dogs In The Camp Grounds?

Saw a boxer dog at the farmers market with a guy with long hair. Saw him again inside the venue with the dog in a beer garden. Possibly one of the bands brothers that had some pull? If you're so curious just ask. Don't be scared

And?

People who think it's smart to bring their fucking dog to Coachella are about as retarded as the assholes who bring their toddlers in strollers. It was really disturbing walking through car camping Lot 8 and seeing dogs ties to cars here and there.

Not saying its right, but thats why there are dogs in the campgrounds.

If you're going to bring your dog to a festival, let it come to the festival, not sit in the camp grounds.

Don't even get me started with parents at concerts with kids....if you're not leaving early and just geeking on bands, well you can afford a baby sitter.

Re: Why In The Fuck Are There Dogs In The Camp Grounds?

I saw some shitheads at Sasquatch with dogs at the campgrounds last year; I guess that's not as bad but it's still terrible. But what the fuck is wrong with people? Was this ever an issue before the last couple years? The cruise would have been okay for the dog, I imagine.
